Claudia's cheeks colored. She hadn't meant to put their affection on public display, but the sight of Bennett drew her to him irresistibly.

As the clock struck six, the sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm, orange glow that seemed to envelop them in a world of their own. Their undeniable chemistry caught the eyes of many, making them momentarily forget why they'd initially come: to get autographs and photos from the contestants.

Originally, they came here to ask the contestants for autographs and photos, but when they saw the two people, Bennett and Claudia, many people subconsciously looked in the direction of the two of them.

The two of them were so good-looking. Claudia was so attractive even in the plain competition uniform.

Bennett was tall and long, with straight and slender legs in black trousers. The Loose shirt decreased his usual coldness, and gave him a sense of laziness, as if he was taking publicity photos as the noble model invited by the famous clothing brand.

“Is this real Life, or are they filming a drama? Help! I can totally overlook a cheesy plot for the sake of their good looks!"

“Oh my gosh, I spotted this dashing guy earlier. Before his girlfriend showed up, he stood there with a detached look on his face. I was too intimidated to give him more than a passing glance! But the moment his girlfriend arrived, his face lit up in a smile. You could see how deeply he cares for her! It's like I'm watching a real-life romantic drama unfold!"

“Am I the only one noticing that his girlfriend is CC, the multi-year champion? She's gorgeous! Now it makes sense why she always wore a mask. That face would totally distract her competition!"

The crowd was buzzing with excitement. Heidi, green with envy, couldn't help but retort, "Is it really that much of a big deal? She's not that beautiful. I've seen way more attractive women!"

No sooner had Heidi finished speaking than a woman next to her, who had remained quiet up until now, chimed in. "Are you kidding? CC could easily stand out even among celebrities, let alone in everyday Life She's striking. I can't guarantee I wouldn't get distracted by her if she competed without that mask."

Novalee, this year's new champion, softly added, "I also think she's stunning. Had she been in my division, I doubt I'd have stood a chance at winning."

Heidi found herself at a loss for words.

“Well, beauty isn't everything. You can’t just coast through Life on good looks.”

The woman next to her countered, "If you looked like CC, you could." Left speechless, Heidi had no choice but to exit the stage, fuming with anger.

The men participating in the event also took note of Bennett. Any lingering thoughts of pursuing CC quickly evaporated.

In the end, CC and her husband were truly a match made in heaven!

They had thought CC was merely avoiding commitment, but as it turned out, she was indeed married, and at such a young age, too.

What a shame!

If they'd known how radiant CC was, they would've been more persistent in trying to get her contact details.

But that ship had now sailed!

Upon hearing the surrounding chatter, Claudia's ears turned a vivid shade resembling cooked shrimp.

She looked at Bennett, her face showcasing her discomfort, and suggested, "Let's head back to the hotel."

Bennett gave her a contemplative look, and then asked, "Don't you want to stay for the sunset?”

Surveying the surroundings, she replied, "No, I feel a bit hungry." She feared that Lingering there to witness the sunset would make them the center of envious stares from others.
